Na pa bushiku ubo Yesu alekelesheko ukuba pe tempele, alitwalilile ukusokolola ubumbimunda bwa bakalemba na baFarise. Abetile ukuti mwe ba bumbimunda mwe pa cintubwingi. Abomfeshe icilangililo, atile: “Muwamya ku nse ya kapu ne mbale, lelo mu kati mwaisula ubucenjeshi no kukanailama. We muFarise impofu, ubale usamfye mu kati ka kapu ne mbale, pa kuti na ku nse kuwame.” (Mateo 23:25, 26) Nangu ca kuti abaFarise balibikile amano ku mimonekele yabo na ku kuisangulula ukulingana no lutambi, balilekeleshe ubuntu bwa mu kati kabili balifililwe ukusangulula imitima yabo iya mampalanya.

E lyo na kabili, ubumbimunda bwabo bwalemonekela na muli filya balekuula no kuwamya inshiishi sha bakasesema. Lelo, nge fyo Yesu alandile, baali “bana ba baipeye bakasesema.” (Mateo 23:31) Na kuba, ici calemonekela muli filya balefwaisha ukwipaya Yesu.—Yohane 5:18; 7:1, 25.

Lyena Yesu alandile pa fyali no kubacitikila nga ca kuti tabalapiile, atile: “Mwe nsoka mwe, mwe bana ba mafwafwa mwe, mukafulumuka shani ubupingushi bwa ku Gehena?” (Mateo 23:33) Mu Mupokapoka wa Hinomu uwali lwa mupepi, e mo baleocela ifisooso. Kanshi aya mashiwi Yesu alandile yali cilangililo ca bonaushi bwa muyayaya ubwali no kucitikila bakalemba na baFarise.

Abasambi ba kwa Yesu e bali no kumwimininako nga “bakasesema na ba mano na bakasambilisha ba bantu.” Finshi fyali no kubacitikila? Ilyo alelanda ku ntungulushi sha baYuda, Yesu atile: ‘Mukepayapo bamo [pa basambi bandi] no kubapoopela pa fimuti, e lyo bambi bena mukabafopaula mu masunagoge yenu no kubacusha mu musumba no musumba; pa kuti mukapingulwe pa mulopa onse uwalungama uo basuumya pano isonde, ukufuma ku mulopa wa kwa Abele umulungami ukufika ku mulopa wa kwa Sekaria . . . untu mwaipeye.’ Abasokele ukuti: “Ndemweba icine cine nati, Fyonse ifi fikesa pa nkulo ino.” (Mateo 23:34-36) Ifi e fyacitike mu 70 C.E. ilyo abashilika abena Roma baonawile Yerusalemu kabili abaYuda abengi nga nshi balifwile.

Ilyo Yesu atontonkenye pali ifi ifyali no kucitika, alyumfwile sana ububi. Alandile bulanda bulanda ukuti: “We Yerusalemu, we Yerusalemu, we wipaya bakasesema no kupoola amabwe abo bakutumina! Ifyo imiku iingi nafwaile ukulonganika abana bobe, filya nankoko afukatila utwana twakwe mu mapindo yakwe! Lelo imwe tamwalefwaya. Moneni! Ing’anda yenu yalekeleshiwa kabili yamushalila icibolya.” (Mateo 23:37, 38) Abaumfwileko ilyo Yesu alandile aya mashiwi nalimo tabaishibe bwino “ing’anda” iyo alelandapo. Bushe alelanda pe tempele lya lulumbi ilyali mu Yerusalemu, ilyo balemona kwati Lesa alelicingilila?

Lyena Yesu asosele ukuti: “Ndemweba nati, ine tamwakaamone na kabili ukutula pali nomba mukasuke amutila, ‘Alipaalwa uuleishila mwi shina lya kwa Yehova!’” (Mateo 23:39) Alandile amashiwi ya kusesema ayaba na pa Amalumbo 118:26, apatila: “Apaalwe Uuleishila mwi shina lya kwa Yehova; twamupaalila mu ng’anda ya kwa Yehova.” Ukwabula no kutwishika, ilyo itempele lyaonawilwe, takwali nangu umo uwaleyako mu kupepa Lesa.

Yesu nomba aile mu lubansa lwa mwi tempele umo balebika ifipao fya kupoosamo indalama, ifyo babashile kwati lipenga. Abantu balepoosa indalama mu tupunda utwali pa muulu wa fipao. Yesu aletamba uko abaYuda abengi balepoosamo, abakankaala “balepoosamo indalama ishingi.” Lyena Yesu amwene mukamfwilwa umupiina uwapooselemo “utundalama tubili, utwacepesha.” (Marko 12:41, 42) Ukwabula no kutwishika Yesu alishibe ifyo Lesa atashishe bulya bupe.

Awe Yesu aitile abasambi bakwe no kubeba ukuti: “Ndemweba icine cine nati, uyu mukamfwilwa umupiina apooselemo ukucila bonse abalepoosa  indalama mu cipao.” Ni mwi aloseshe? Alondolwele ukuti: “Bonse bapooselemo indalama isho bafumishe pa fyuma fyabo, lelo ena, nangu mupiina, napoosamo shonse isho acikwata isha kuliilamo.” (Marko 12:43, 44) Ala mwandini imitontonkanishishe ne micitile yakwe yalipusene ne ya ntungulushi sha mapepo!

Ilyo ubushiku bwa Nisani 11 bwaleya bulepwa, Yesu afumine pe tempele umuku wa kulekeleshako. Umo pa basambi bakwe atile: “Mwe Kasambilisha, moneni! ifimabwe ne fikuulwa!” (Marko 13:1) Ifimabwe fimo ifya mu fibumba fye tempele fyali ifikalamba sana. Ici calengele itempele lilemoneka kwati te kuti lyonaulwe. Kanshi abasambi balipapile ilyo Yesu alandile ukuti: “Bushe wafimona ifi fikuulwa ifikalamba? Tapakashalepo ilibwe apa nakalya pa muulu wa libiye ilishakapooswe pa nshi.”—Marko 13:2.

Ilyo Yesu alandile aya mashiwi, ena na batumwa bakwe ba-abwike Umupokapoka wa Kidrone no kuninika Ulupili lwa Miolife. Awe kwali inshita ilyo ashele fye na batumwa bane, Petro, Andrea, Yakobo, na Yohane. Kabili baikele apalungatene ne tempele lya lulumbi.
